The weekend morning promos usually air Friday and Saturday nights during Eyewitness News at 11pm. Good promo, it has just the right theme for weekend mornings.

wabceyewitness 827 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 I like it... It's fresh and modern.. seems like something you would see on KABC out in L.A.
24994J 5629 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I looked back a ways, and it appears that this little Facebook news brief by Eyewitness News debuted today. Only 39 seconds long, this quick update (visually branded as ABC7 To Go, with no verbal mention) features a very flat & simplistic, yet familiar & attractive graphical look, not unlike the above promo. Whether or not it turns into a full package for the main newscasts, I highly doubt it. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152678976134091&permPage=1

They were used in a recent tease for the 11pm show. These graphics look really good, I wouldn't mind them turning into a package. They call this Eyewitness News Quickcast, just like WNT Facecast.
NYNewser_676 26 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I was trying to figure out why the quick cast graphics look familiar... and then it hit me... They are basically just a bigger version of the PIX11 graphics package... flat, boring L3 bar with a line at the end and the info bar above the L3. This particular graphic mini package looks way too basic and huge to be an on-air package, but the general direction of the new promos and the quick cast is intuitive and tasteful renditions of the flat-UI look. Wouldn't be surprised to see new on-air graphics this year ... this August will be 4 years with the package.
anthonyz 26 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 The quick cast graphics are used on other ABC O&Os social media pages and sites, for example https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152564364162452&set=vb.38245492451&type=2&theater https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153038904622079&set=vb.57427307078&type=2&theater
NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Well doesn't this "new" feature look familiar (especially if you watch a channel just a little further down the dial). Just another classic example of stations constantly copying after eachother. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152665884034091&set=vb.31160214090&type=3&theater

BehindNYNews 147 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 11 Where in the PIX 11 app can you report the weather? I don't see it.
ns8401 957 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Where in the PIX 11 app can you report the weather? I don't see it. i've never even seen the app, I just knew what station above 7 he meant.

NYNewsCoverage 308 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 And what station would that be? 11 I actually wasn't referring to 11, I was referring to 2, with WCBS' new "weather watchers" thing that they promote like crazy, that allows viewers to post their weather data from their location, as well as pictures. Now I'm not saying that you can do so from their weather app (I don't know to be honest), I was just saying that the whole "Eyewitness Weather Watchers" sounds awfully similar to "CBS 2 Weather Watchers", and that seems like that is where they got their idea from.

CBS 2 Weather Watchers lets you post pictures. EWN is literally letting you post weather data and pictures. It's not copying at all.

Ehhh... I misread your down the dial comment. I doubt they are copying that closely. Station groups are rolling these out in general across their stations in some cases so It's not like 2 had a lock on the concept. The name might be a jab at 2 but nothing more.

Its funny, even if WABC (or ABC O&Os) copy another channel, they will always do it better.
ns8401 957 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Its funny, even if WABC (or ABC O&Os) copy another channel, they will always do it better. We always say they are neglected by Disney... but they still get plenty of support to make a better product in some cases.
24994J 5629 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 We always say they are neglected by Disney... but they still get plenty of support to make a better product in some cases. I would say they're more ignored than neglected. So long as they don't lose/waste money, Disney gives them a lot of leeway.

nynewslover 280 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I know someone's gonna jump at me for this but anyone know what's up with Ken Rosato? Is he ok? It seems for a while now like every other week he's off the entire week or only works a few days.. Not sure if he has time to use or if something's wrong.

What happened?
24994J 5629 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 They deleted it, but WABC asked on Twitter who the Seahawks will play in the Super Bowl, "#Broncos or #Patriots". Yeah, about that.
